Might do a podcast with @Dan tomorrow today.

It would be a one off special for the 20th birthday.

Open to topics to cover!

Preferably about the past 20 years of DD.

@jj1000
There are a bunch of apps that handle giveaways, the idea being you get more points for tweeting, friends signing up etc
Depends on what your goals are for the giveaway but worth taking a look

I think an interesting topic to include would be what the process is when contemplating which deals to include on DDMS.

Many non-DDFers think that the site just spits out deals. But the allure of DDMS over the garbage websites is that DD only posts deals that are useful, really a deal, etc.  Explaining some proposed deals and how they were vetted (mod whattsapp conversations, research of price history, etc) is something that I think is interesting for both DDFers and non-DDFers, and it also subtly promotes the website, as people realize that there is something special about DDMS deals.

Maybe instead of giveaways to random moochers you can up your compensation to your dedicated correspondents.

Also when a deal is considered HOT, SMOKING etc.

Maybe post some success stories from people who've been able to learn how to use the credit card points to get nice trips that they wouldn't have otherwise been able to afford (myself included)

Sounds like he wants to do a nostalgia episode, not general topics.

Like go thru some epic deals of years past (elal glitch, etc).
